NFS storage uuid changing due to move

We have to move our NFS storage to a different IP address space. This will result in the uuid changing for each volume. Anyone ideas on the best way to accomplish this?

I thought that maybe I could capture the virtualdisk backing.filename, scsicontroller.busnumber, and virtualdisk.unitnumber for each VM before the move and then remove the disks just before the change. After readding the "new" NFS mount points I could readd the disks for each VM based on the information collected above. Would this be doable or does anyone have any idea that may work? Most VM's have 2 or more disks.

Thanks for any ideas and/or code you may be willing to share.
